Weaving In The Ends

31 Days In October 





Just because the end is in view doesn't mean I cheat myself of an excellent finale. Even on the last row or the last paragraph I can still ask, "Shall I redo this? Could I do it better?"


Day 27-

Let's talk about those loose ends that need to be woven into the whole tapestry. I take my tapestry needle and pull an end through the hole and slowly, carefully pull the thread over and under the fabric. The point is that this work should not be visible. It's a 'behind the scenes' job. 
There are also loose ends in writing a novel. Presently, I'm concerned with the future of my Liszt original manuscript. This treasure found in Hungary by my character Judith, is taken custody by the detectives and has become evidence in her murder case. Since Judith stole it from the basement of a museum should the museum get it back?


So, as I am still in editing mode I'm considering whether I should reveal its future. Yes, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 8 does exist and the first page is actually missing from the Library of Congress. Take a listen and if you appreciate the amazing sound you will understand why it's important to me that in my fictional story this loose end gets woven in.
